Isn't she Precious!
Last Updated (Thursday, 28 August 2008 14:04) Written by Freya and HopeBear162 Wednesday, 27 August 2008 13:30
Our first member to receive the Hopeful Wishes Teddy II is HopeBear162 and she has graciously shared pictures of this lovely teddy with us!
She was purchased online from Build-A-Bear Workshop.
I'll let HopeBear162 introduce her:
"Here we have her, fresh out of the box (came at 4:40 on August 17th, 2008). Give it up for.........Hailey!!!!!! She has very silky fur and the cutest face!!"
She is 16 inches in height, has brown eyes, pink colored fur and a gold embroidered nose to match the gold cancer awareness ribbon on her paw and gold lined bow.
She is not available to bring to life in Buildabearville until at least October 1st. When HopeBear162 enters her animal ID and key code from the birth certificate she gets a "Furry Choice" of friends to choose from but she'll be patient and wait until October. We don't know what the Virtual Gift will be that comes exclusive to this teddy.
Update: YolandaHug has received communication from BABW that "The Hopeful Wishes Teddy II will receive a wishbone necklace - it looks like the pink cancer ribbon."
Hopeful Wishes Teddy II is part of the Build-A-Bear Workshop cause-related bear family. When you make a cause-related friend a portion of the proceeds is donated by BABW to help their cause.
Hopeful Wishes Teddy I (HWT I) was introduced in August 2001. She is a 16 inch bear with pink tipped, fluffy fur and brown eyes. There are currently two HWT I bears to choose from at Build-A-Bear Workshop online. The BABW website shows that HWT I (SKU 2116) comes with a pink enamel ribbon breast cancer awareness pin and $1 of the purchase is donated to advance breast cancer research, education, screening and treatment. One other HWT I (SKU 2092) is available, on the BABW website, and it does not indicate that a pin comes with the purchase but it does say that $5 is donated from the sale of this friend to advance breast cancer education, research and to help support groups. Hopeful Wishes Teddy I is available to bring to life in Buildabearville. When brought to life between December 2007 until recently the Virtual gift exclusive to this bear was a pink cancer awareness ribbon necklace for your character/avatar to wear. Members have recently reported getting a brown and white bone/dog tag necklace instead, much like the one that comes with one of the Hearts Fur You Puppies.
Hopeful Wishes Teddy II (SKU 13708) on the BABW website shows that $5 is donated from the sale to advance breast cancer education, research and support groups. This bears will be available for purchase in stores in October per a recent update from KarenBearHug and HopeBear162!

Mid August Changes to Buildabearville Part 2
Last Updated (Monday, 18 August 2008 23:28) Written by EmilyRose Monday, 18 August 2008 23:23
On August 13th, every member in Build-A-Bear-Ville received a message from ChloeRocks! The friendly reminder promised new clothes, styles, furniture, and even two new Cub Condo rooms! BuildabearvilleBLOG buzzed with excitement, mystery and wonder in anticipation for new additions. Some faithful bloggers stayed up all night to get the early bird sneak peek, only to be disappointed that Build a Bear was under construction.
Kristendiva18 noticed that you can sit on furniture that you couldn't before! When your character reclines, he/she puts her hands behind her head. Furry friends kick their feet when they lie back in lawn chairs!
HopeBear162 spotted a colorful bunch of four, bear-headed balloons. Although many speculated that they would be the surprise Birthday gift celebrating Bereamy's birthday, Janineallheart6 was the first to discover that the giveaway was not the balloon cluster but an adorable cupcake hat with a red candle on it! Were the balloons a glitch or will they be given out during Bearemy's Birthday celebration? Only time will tell!
The tour guide for the Build A Bear Ville tour is no longer furry Bearemy but ChloeRocks herself. One of the cons is that you can not exit the tour but must listen to the whole thing.
LindaFriendly discovered that your bears can walk outside of your condo! MelindaSnowflake2 was shocked when she found her bear eating an apple outside of her condo! Not only can your furry friend eat apples, but your character can buy apples and some other school supplies such as lunch boxes at the Pawlette Boutique!
Along with the cool, back-to-school accessories, a new set of school clothing was added in the Pawlette and also Bear Boutique! It wouldn't be complete without new furniture like world maps, globes, chemistry sets and more! Be sure to pick up some school supplies today!
The Furry Newsflash brought exciting information concerning one of the biggest mysteries Build A Bear Ville Blog has seen! There was an exclusive interview with Maxine Clark who revealed that Jr. Cybearguide hopefuls will have to pass a quiz of ten questions. Maxine also recommends that you go to BABW a lot and have at least one furry friend! The hat for Cybearguides has a blue star above it unlike the white question mark that official Cybearguides own. Many bloggers can not wait until Mid-September!
The Newsflash also mentioned that photos taken at the photo booth will be able to hung in your Cub Condo! Zazzle will be even offering to print your pictures into real t-shirts for you and your furry friends!
Thanks to everyone who helped fellow bloggers find the solutions and answers to glitches! Another big thanks to everyone who contributed information that was not easily seen!

Mid August Changes to Buildabearville Part 1
Last Updated (Thursday, 21 August 2008 01:09) Written by MiraMusicMaker Friday, 15 August 2008 11:30
Big changes were observed for the August 14th update of Build-A-Bearville!
JessBearHug noted that the Login feature’s appearance changed! So, for all of you BABV families and users with side accounts, you can click on the ‘Remember Me Next Time’ button while logging in on your different accounts, because instead of only one account being remembered, all of them are!
LindaFriendly reminded us all to visit the Lumbear Yard to buy one (or both) of the new rooms that were added today: The dorm room, and the outdoor patio! Adding these two rooms to your ‘Cub Condo’ changes the layout of your ‘Cub Condo Map’. You can enter the dorm room through your main room, and you can enter the patio through your kitchen. MelindaSnowflake2 noted that the patio was a little expensive, but was definitely worth the price of 5000 Bear-Bills.
For a little while, there was a ‘Move Sequencer’ in the Pawforming Arts Center, where you could select up to ten moves that you would like to do in a row. When you would click accept, the sequence would show up in your moves! You could only make three sequences. Sadly, this feature disappeared. But, could it have been a sneak peek into the future of Build-A-BearVille? We will just have to wait to find out!
JohnWalt discovered some exciting news: Build-A-BearVille is no longer in the Beta stage! Some still see the Beta in their browser address.
ChantelleFurshion discovered a new item; a cluster of four bear-head balloons! ReganSoSweet likes how the balloons are in a big bundle, instead of only one balloon. Will this be Bearemy’s birthday gift to us? We’ll find out tomorrow!
We can also now place furniture on the outside of our house! JenniferLoveable said that her furniture disappeared when she put it in the front yard of her house. But, that glitch was only temporary and was fixed quickly!
AaronGamer told us about the new flag in the Bear Stuff Store: An Olympics Flag! And the biggest news of today was the addition of new clothes at the Pawlette Cofur Boutique, and the new school-themed furniture from the Bear Stuff store! RachelCurlyFur9 reminded us to check out the new clothes for you and your bear at the bear boutique, too!
A special thanks to all of you who contributed to the ‘News Flash’ section in the forums and helped us figure out all of the new changes and new features in Build-A-BearVille!
